🔥 Launched today is a short video of a conversation between Jeremy Epstein and myself about my installation called Home that is still in the gallery due to the pandemic and ensuing lockdown overlapping at the tail end of the exhibition. Home has become an important consideration for so many reasons in this crisis. 🔥 Home Fires 01: Gordon Cheung 🔥 Home Fires is a series of short conversations between Edel Assanti's artistic director Jeremy Epstein and gallery artists, discussing a recent or ongoing body of work. The conversations address inspiration, research and studio process, whilst framing individual works within a broader context of each artist's practice. 🔥 https://edelassanti.com/viewing-room/1-home-fires-01-gordon-cheung-home/#verify=94bcb163474d46d8ba94361566bbe425 🔥 Made from layered newspaper and bamboo, Gordon Cheung’s window installation Home refers to homes in China with traditional window lattice designs that were demolished due to rapid urbanisation. The sculpture hovers between states of being, suggesting a ghost architecture that would have supported the windows. They act as a demarcation between the march of unstoppable progress, and the framework of identity, history and culture that define the individual. Home appeared in Cheung’s fourth solo show with the gallery, Tears of Paradise. This exhibition was the latest in a series in which Cheung witnesses and interprets events surrounding the emergence of China as a twenty-first century global superpower. 🔥 #GordonCheung #EdelAssanti #HomeFires #covid_19 #Home (at Lockdown London) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_X2_nhlriu/?igshid=aaugyo9o6tel

🔥Show extended to 18 March🔥 Talk with Mark Rappolt is online: https://edelassanti.com/events/21/ 🖖 Thanks to everyone who came to the talk. It was a great conversation with Mark and I am constantly surprised at despite talking about the mega projects of China and the lifting of 800 million people from poverty, better healthcare than the US, over 96% literacy, more infrastructure built than the worlds history, all in a matter of decades, from what was a destitute nation, that some people found it terrifying rather than extraordinary. The audience interaction was fascinating for what was sometimes a reductionist perception via good vs evil and Democracy vs Communism. That the fear of China is inured into the emotional mindset despite the facts of economic miracles and largest human projects in history. More in the video of the talk. 😷🖖 #GordonCheung #MarkRappolt #TearsOfParadise #EdelAssanti #artreviewmagazine (Edel Assanti) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9pD4_plpSb/?igshid=15kcbu360c9sa

🔥🔥🔥 I am Artforum Critic’s Pick, thank you Daniel Culpan! 🔥🔥🔥 Culpan poetically focuses on the Dystopic aspects of China’s mega projects by picking out the extreme examples of a nation becoming a Superpower. Im writing to supplement the other conceptual dimensions in the work, where nuances about the largest human projects in history are not reduced to a Good vs Evil narrative or simplified into being about Democracy vs Communism. Geopolitics is a complex moral maze with profound roots of history that determine China’s modernity and future plans. String of Pearls is a US military contractor’s term, thus a US Empire’s narrative, to promote the theory of current and potential overseas military bases, mega infrastructure projects, economic corridors, port or other China geostrategic advantage in the region. String of Pearls refers to the possibility of the Chinese Navy connecting these pearls via maritime routes. The wider complex situation is China being surrounded by over 400 US military bases by a nation that is currently waging a trade war and has invaded and semi-colonised China in the recent past with what was known as the Unfair Treaties. 80% of China’s energy supply comes via The Strait of Malacca, a narrow 890km stretch of water and one of the most important sea lanes in the world that can be choked off in times of conflict. Even if China wanted to exert naval power via these so called Pearls they would be shut down by India’s influence over these areas. Therefore they have invested in infrastructure projects into various ports to ensure multiple ways to deliver energy and trade routes.
